[F#] [C#m] [C#]
John came [C#m] over this morning, [F#] found his wife, she wasn't [C#m] there.
[G#]
A cold, cold feeling [C#] crept through his bones and [F#] found a note at the bottom of [C#m] the stairs.
[G#]
Said [C#m] I'm in love with your brother, oh, [C#] I found a preacher, [F#] I'm in love, I'm heading for [C#m] the south.
[G#]
[C#] Boy, you're fine, but I've changed my mind, [F#] I'm boarding the next train out [C#m] of town.
[G#]
[C#m]
John flew into a rage like thunder, he brought [F#] his fists down and he cracked [C#m] the floor.
[C#]
His body broke on the way, he screamed and he rolled [F#] and he headed right back [E] for the door.
[G#]
Said [C#] I'm gonna find my brother, god damn this preacher, [F#] I'm gonna put him underneath [C#m] the stone.
[D#m]
[C#] When the oak trees are so tall, the mountains feel small, [F#] I remember the wrath of my [C#m] storm.

John crashed in [C#] with his pistol, cried in [F#] the morning just before [C#m] the dawn.
[G#m]
[C#] He took out his knife and he carved out the [F#] line of a future in the [C#m] eyes of the Lord.
The sun was up, the moon was over, [C#] strung him up high, said I'll ride into the sky, [F#] let the ravens pick him to [C#m] the ball.
A man came by, [C#] turned down his eye, [F#] knocked a gaze upon the brother [C#m] of John.
[G#]
[C#m]
The station platform [C#] was empty and quiet, [F#] she waited for a man who [C#m] never showed.
When the noonday sun was [C#] high, cracking the ground, [F#] she felt the month rising.
[C#m]
[D#] [C#] John slept from behind, put a gun on her side, [F#] said baby boy I [C#m] came home.
